On Time, Complacency and Blogging

I started this blog 5 years ago and it doesn't show at all and then I started a travel blog 7 months ago, TERNGU and it really hasn't been easy. Am really excited about my travel blog, I love having it around but I've still got a lot more work to do, developing more and better content, being consistent, learning social media marketing tactics and so on.

Well, yesterday, a friend sent me the 10 day freedom blog challenge, at first I thought yes wow! this could be a real challenge and then I tried to find a way to make it go with my travel blog and it did work but not quite well. I was just going to give up, I soothed myself saying how it was never my plan to blog everyday for the travel blog anyway and then my friend nudged me a bit more and here I am. This blog post is in response to Natalie's 10 Day Freedom Plan Blog Challenge Day 1

There really isn't any excuse for me not blogging here, I have a lot of blog ideas, I write them down, but I fail to develop it. Sometimes, I excuse myself by saying, "oh medical school takes all my time, I really do love writing, I really do want to share my thoughts and all these excuses are just helping me to keep my talent buried, that's it. Today's challenge is to share two challenges I face and why I think they are holding me back.

Challenge 1:Time

This is really the all time excuse for everyone. I feel even if I had 28 hours a day it still wont be enough. Sure I could say medical school really takes a lot of my time and a few months ago my part time job, but I think if something really does matter and you understand the purpose you would make the time no matter what. So I am going to make this blog matter

Challenge 2: Complacency

Having my travel blog helped ease my guilt about my failure to work on this blog, but I knew something was missing I had other things to talk about that weren't travel related. I am realizing that sometimes when we think we are being content with what we have or are doing at the moment, it may not really be contentment but plain complacency. Complacency is defined as uncritical satisfaction with one's self or one's achievement.

My Resolve

I do love writing, so I am going to make more time for both my blogs and stop feeling smug with myself. Cheers to that happening and cheers to us all on overcoming whatever challenges we face.

I discovered quite late that the saying, "no man is an island" is really true. I am already 24 years old and just getting what should be the very basics of relationships. Its not that I have had no friends all this while, but most of my relationships with others in the past ran on the premise of "ain't nobody got time for nonsense" - if I wasn't seeing tangible benefits, I was out.I didn't learn dependence on others and didn't think I needed it. I didn't learn to rely and fully trust. You can say, maybe I never found the right people, but I think the problem was that I never approached my relationships the proper way. I was a strong, I can do bad and good all by myself, no wasting time with others kind of person. This mentality, which is something society generally accepts is quite dangerous. We ask ourselves, "what am I getting from this friendship or relationship?" Or "how is this person of use to me?" And when we find peo…

She calls him darling
She pats his head
She thinks it's pleasing
She thinks its nice
She calls him by name
She shakes his hand
She thinks it's fitting
She thinks it's kind
She's being nice to him
He may not understand now
But how does this really help him?

She's being genuine with him
He may not understand now
But what is true will ever appreciate!

About all these, he has contemplated,
"I would rather be kind, Nice is overrated"

Owe no man anything.
Repay your debts. What goes around, comes around. Make sure to sow only good seeds, you never know what the future holds.
No one is above trials and tribulations.
Be ye a xianxia cultivator or an immortal or a mere mortal, everyone has their challenges and tribulations to face. Face it head on, cause we know that by overcoming them, we get stronger. Every test, every challenge is a sign that you are moving on in life.
Diligence always pays off.
I have not read of a main character who just randomly advanced in life, sure they may have had fortuitous encounters, but they didn't let that get to their head. I especially love Jiang Zhe in the Grand master strategist. Its worth noting that he wasn't born with all of his knowledge. Nope, he read to accumulate it, while he was nothing and after he became an official, the author shows us that he doesn't stop reading, nor appreciating and exchanging with other talents when he comes across them.
